this storm greeted me as I came out of the grocery store, chased me home and got to my driveway the same time I did.

Thanks Kathy, Peg, ftogrf, Carol, Wanda & Liz!
No I didn't get too wet. As I left the grocery store and traveled south I watched it in my rear view as it came from the north. It reminded me of a giant tidal wave all white & frothy against a dk blue background.

Thanks Julia, Katy & Heidrun. I would definitely rather be the one chasing & if I hadn't had cold stuff that needed to get into the freezer I think I would have hung around for more pictures!
